Statics show that 49 percent of married couples will get a divorce and my parents contribute to these statstics. My parents were officially divorce when i was four and my sister was two. I dont really remember my parents ever been together so i have adapted to the divorce life well. For those of you who parents may me seperated or parents are currently going through a divorce, your not alone. I have personally never experenced going through divorce as a teenager, but i would imagine it would be more emotionally painfully because you actually know whats going on.
You should never blame the divorce on yourself, you may feel like its your fault but its actually not. Realistically its your parents issue not yours.
Also do not choose sides with parents. This has been by biggest issue growing up. I would one day be on my dads or moms side and then in the end they would always just get into a huge fight and i would get caught in the middle.
Don't listen to your parents when they vent to you about they other. Some information your just not spose to know and you don't want it to affect your relationship with that parent.
Visit your mom/dad on the weekend! I know on the weekends we all want to hang out with our friends but take a saturday or sunday afternoon and hang out with them. You don't realize how much they miss not seeing you everyday.
My final suggestion is don't let divorce reuin your life. Talk to you parents, if you are struggling to adapt to the situation.
its hard when your parents get a divorce, but life does go on. that what I told myself, it made me feel better. After dealing with that sitiation when i get married I will try hard no to ever get one, its to hard for kids to go though
